A North Carolina city council was forced to hold an emergency meeting after one of its members made a shocking post about the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
Following the shooting at a campaign event in Pennsylvania on Saturday, Henderson Councilwoman Geraldine Champion took to Facebook to express her doubts about the authenticity of the shooting.
'Now the taxpayers have to pay for a fake shooting he staged,' she wrote.
In another post she called the shooting 'FAKE NEWS' because nobody ran in the immediate aftermath, according to screengrabs shared by the popular Libs of TikTok X account.
City officials have since said she displayed 'inappropriate behavior for a councilmember,' and the city council convened briefly on Wednesday to discuss its social media policy, WRAL reports.
City Manager Terrell Blackmon did not explicitly connect Wednesday night's agenda to Champion's post at the meeting, but he noted there was a gap in the city's existing social media policy.
'There's a social media policy that applies to employees, but it does not apply to the mayor and council,' he explained.
Blackmon, the Henderson city attorney and mayor are now working on a new policy in response to recent events, the city manager said.
'I believe adopting a specific social media policy for our council is essential,' Blackmon said.
The city council ultimately voted unanimously at the short 10-minute-long meeting to adopt a new social media policy.
Until it goes into effect, though, any policy violations would be addressed through the existing code of conduct.

Maybe Geraldine would be better off working at Burger King?
Is she black?
She’ll get away with it.
Ugly too.
The approved question is, “Is she white.”
Yes.
Orange Woman Bad.
Better yet, make her clean public toilets for $1 a year.
Ask the dead firefighter’s family if it was a fake shooting.
Yes Boo Boo, it’s them.
I knew of another black Geraldine, her boyfriend’s name was Killer. Got in a lot of trouble cause the devil made her do it. Dang that old devil.
Every branch ...

He seems nice….
Another assassination denier ?
Another candidate for Bennie Thompson’s staff. He only gives jobs to hateful, corrupt, black Democrats.
She believes it was faked? Does she also believe that Guam will tip over if there are too many people on it?
I feel bad for her Pavarotti jewelry
No, it’s: “How white is she?”
